UMakho 12
1 Waseqala ukukhuluma labo ngemifanekiso wathi: Umuntu wahlanyela isivini, wasibiyela ngothango, wagebha isikhamelo, wakha umphotshongo, wasiqhatshisa kubalimi, waya kwelinye ilizwe.
Awo Yesu n’atandika okwogera nabo mu ngero, ng’agamba nti, “Waaliwo omusajja eyalima ennimiro y’emizabbibu, n’ateeka olukomera okugyetooloola, n’ateekamu essogolero, n’azimbamu n’omunaala, n’agifuniramu abalimi abaagipangisa, n’agenda olugendo.
2 Kwathi sekuyisikhathi esifaneleyo wathuma inceku kubalimi, ukuze yemukele kubalimi okwesithelo sesivini.
Ekiseera ky’amakungula bwe kyatuuka, n’abatumira omuddu okufuna ebibala okuva mu nnimiro ey’emizabbibu.
3 Kodwa bayibamba bayitshaya, bayimukisa ize.
Naye bwe yatuuka ku nnimiro abalimi ne bamukuba ne bamusindika n’addayo ngalo nsa.
4 Wasebuya ethuma kubo enye inceku; laleyo bayitshaya ngamatshe bayilimaza ekhanda, bayixotsha isithelwe inhloni.
Nannyini nnimiro n’atuma omuddu we omulala, oyo ne bamukuba olubale, ne bamuswaza.
5 Wasebuya ethuma enye; yona basebeyibulala; lezinye ezinengi, ezinye bazitshaya, lezinye bazibulala.
Omubaka omulala gwe yatuma baamutta bussi, ate abalala be yazzaako okutuma, abamu baabakuba n’abalala ne babatta.
6 Ngakho eseselendodana eyodwa ethandekayo kuye, ekucineni wayithuma kubo layo, esithi: Bazayihlonipha indodana yami.
“Yali asigazzaawo omu yekka ow’okutuma, ye mutabani we omwagalwa. Bw’atyo n’amutuma gye bali ng’agamba nti, ‘Bajja kussaamu mutabani wange ekitiibwa.’
7 Kodwa labobalimi bakhulumisana besithi: Le yindlalifa; wozani, siyibulale, lelifa lizakuba ngelethu.
“Naye abalimi abo ne bateesa bokka na bokka nti, Ono ye musika, mujje tumutte ebyobusika tubyesigalize!
8 Basebeyibamba bayibulala, bayiphosela ngaphandle kwesivini.
Awo ne bamukwata ne bamutta omulambo gwe ne bagusuula ebweru w’ennimiro y’emizabbibu.
9 Ngakho uzakwenzani umninisivini? Uzakuza ababhubhise abalimi, anikele isivini kwabanye.
“Mulowooza nannyini nnimiro alikola atya? Agenda kujja, abalimi abo bonna abazikirize, ennimiro ye agipangiseemu abalimi abalala.
10 Kalibalanga yini lumbhalo othi: Ilitshe abakhi abalalayo, yilo eseliyinhloko yengonsi;
Temusomangako byawandiikibwa nti, “‘Ejjinja abazimbi lye baagaana, lye lifuuse ejjinja ekkulu ery’oku nsonda.
11 lokhu kwenziwe yiNkosi, njalo kuyisimanga emehlweni ethu?
Ekyo Mukama ye yakikola era kitwewuunyisa nnyo okukiraba.’”
12 Basebedinga ukumbamba, kodwa besaba ixuku; ngoba babesazi ukuthi wayekhulume lumfanekiso emelane labo. Basebemtshiya bahamba.
Abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bamanya ng’olugero lwali lukwata ku bo, olwo ne banoonya engeri gye bayinza okumukwata, naye ne batya ekibiina. Ne bamuviira ne bagenda.
13 Basebethuma kuye abanye babaFarisi labakaHerodi, ukuze bamthiye ekukhulumeni.
Ne bamuweereza abamu ku Bafalisaayo n’Abakerodiyaani boogere, bagezeeko okumutega mu bigambo.
14 Basebesiza bathi kuye: Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi wena uqotho, njalo kawukhathali ngomuntu; ngoba kawunanzi isimo somuntu, kodwa ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso: Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthela kuKesari kumbe hatshi?
Awo ne bajja gy’ali ne bamugamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, tumanyi ng’oyogera mazima era tolina gw’otya. Toffaayo ku nfaanana y’abantu, wabula amazima ameereere, era oyigiriza ekkubo lya Katonda. Kituufu okuwa Kayisaali omusolo oba tetugumuwa?”
15 Sithele, kumbe singatheli? Kodwa ekwazi ukuzenzisa kwabo wathi kubo: Lingilingelani? Lethani kimi udenariyo, ukuze ngibone.
Naye Yesu n’ategeera obunnanfuusi bwabwe n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki munkema. Mundeetere ensimbi ngirabe.”
16 Basebeletha. Wasesithi kubo: Ngokabani lumfanekiso lalumbhalo? Basebesithi kuye: NgokaKesari.
Ne bagimuleetera, n’ababuuza nti, “Ekifaananyi kino n’ebiwandiiko ebiri ku nsimbi kuno by’ani?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Bya Kayisaali.”
17 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Mnikeni uKesari okukaKesari, loNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu. Basebemangala ngaye.
N’abagamba nti, “Kale ebintu bya Kayisaali mubiwenga Kayisaali n’ebya Katonda, mubiwenga Katonda!” Ne bamwewuunya nnyo.
18 Basebesiza kuye abaSadusi, abathi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo; basebembuza, besithi:
Awo Abasaddukaayo abagamba nti tewali kuzuukira, ne bamubuuza nti,
19 Mfundisi, uMozisi wasibhalela, ukuthi: Uba umfowabo womuntu esifa, atshiye umkakhe, engatshiyi bantwana, umfowabo kamthathe umkakhe, amvusele umfowabo inzalo;
“Omuyigiriza, Musa yatuwa etteeka erigamba nti omusajja omufumbo bw’afanga nga tazadde baana, muganda w’omufu awasenga nnamwandu wa muganda we oyo alyoke amuzaalire abaana.
20 kwakulezelamani eziyisikhombisa; owokuqala wasethatha umfazi, wafa engatshiyanga inzalo;
Waaliwo abooluganda musanvu, mukulu waabwe n’awasa, Oluvannyuma n’afa nga tazadde baana.
21 lowesibili wamthatha, wafa, laye engatshiyanga inzalo; lowesithathu kwaba njalo;
Muto w’omufu kwe kuwasa nnamwandu wa mukulu we, waayitawo akabanga katono naye n’afa, nga naye tazadde mwana. Muganda w’omufu amuddako n’awasa nnamwandu oyo, naye n’atazaala.
22 lalaba boyisikhombisa bamthatha, kabatshiyanga inzalo. Ekucineni kwabo bonke kwafa lomfazi.
Bonna omusanvu ne bafa ne baggwaawo. Oluvannyuma n’omukazi naye n’afa.
23 Ngakho ekuvukeni kwabafileyo, mhla bevukayo, uzakuba ngumkabani kubo; lokhu abayisikhombisa babelaye engumkabo?
Kale, mu kuzuukira kw’abafu omukazi oyo aliba muka ani, kubanga bonna yabafumbirwako?”
24 UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Kaliduhanga yini ngalokhu, ngoba lingayazi imibhalo, loba amandla kaNkulunkulu?
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ekibaleetedde okukyama bwe butamanya byawandiikibwa, n’obutategeera maanyi ga Katonda.
25 Ngoba mhla bevukayo ekufeni, kabathathani, njalo kabendiswa, kodwa banjengengilosi ezisemazulwini.
Kubanga bwe balizuukira mu bafu tebagenda kufumbiriganwa, kubanga bonna baliba nga bamalayika bwe bali mu ggulu.
26 Kodwa mayelana labafileyo, ukuthi bayavuswa, kalifundanga yini egwalweni lukaMozisi, ukuthi uNkulunkulu esihlahleni wakhuluma njani kuye, esithi: NginguNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, loNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe?
Ate ebifa ku kuzuukira kw’abafu, temusomanga mu kitabo Musa bwe yali ku kisaka Katonda n’amugamba nti, ‘Nze Katonda wa Ibulayimu era Katonda wa Isaaka era Katonda wa Yakobo?’
27 Kayisuye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo, kodwa uNkulunkulu wabaphilayo; ngakho lina liduhile kakhulu.
Katonda si Katonda w’abafu, wabula ow’abalamu. Mukyamye nnyo.”
28 Wasefika omunye wababhali, esezwile bebuzana, esebonile ukuthi ubaphendule kuhle, wambuza wathi: Yiwuphi umlayo wokuqala kuyo yonke?
Awo omu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka eyali ayimiridde awo ng’awuliriza bye baali beebuuza, n’ategeera nga Yesu azzeemu bulungi. Naye n’amubuuzaayo nti, “Mu mateeka gonna, erisingamu obukulu lye liruwa?”
29 UJesu wasemphendula wathi: Owokuqala kuyo yonke imilayo ngowokuthi: Zwana, Israyeli: INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, iNkosi yinye;
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ery’olubereberye lye lino nti, ‘Wulira, Isirayiri! Mukama Katonda waffe, Mukama ali omu yekka.
30 njalo wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, langomphefumulo wakho wonke, langengqondo yakho yonke, langamandla akho wonke. Yilo umlayo owokuqala.
Era yagala Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna n’omwoyo gwo gwonna, n’amagezi go gonna, n’amaanyi go gonna.’
31 Lowesibili uyafanana, yilo: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. Kawukho omunye umlayo omkhulu kulale.
N’eryokubiri lye lino nti, ‘Oyagalanga muliraanwa wo nga bwe weeyagala wekka.’ Tewaliiwo mateeka malala gasinga ago bukulu.”
32 Umbhali wasesithi kuye: Kuhle, Mfundisi, utsho okuqotho ukuthi kuloNkulunkulu oyedwa, langaphandle kwakhe kakho omunye;
Omunnyonnyozi w’amateeka n’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza ekigambo ky’oyogedde kya mazima bw’ogambye nti waliwo Katonda omu yekka era teriiyo mulala.
33 lokumthanda ngenhliziyo yonke, langokuqedisisa konke, langomphefumulo wonke, langamandla wonke, lokuthanda umakhelwane njengawe, kuyedlula yonke iminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo.
Era mmanyi nga kikulu nnyo okumwagala n’omutima gwaffe gwonna, n’okutegeera kwaffe n’amaanyi gaffe, n’okwagala muliraanwa wo nga bwe weeyagala wekka, era ng’ekyo kikulu okusinga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ne ssaddaaka.”
34 UJesu esembona ukuthi uphendule ngenhlakanipho, wathi kuye: Kawukhatshana lombuso kaNkulunkulu. Njalo kakwabe kusaba khona umuntu olesibindi sokumbuza.
Yesu bwe yalaba ng’omusajja azzeemu n’amagezi n’amugamba nti, “Toli wala n’obwakabaka bwa Katonda.” Okuva ku ekyo ne watabaawo muntu n’omu eyayaŋŋanga okwongera okumubuuza ebibuuzo ebirala.
35 UJesu, efundisa ethempelini, wasephendula wathi: Batsho njani ababhali ukuthi uKristu uyindodana kaDavida?
Bwe waayitawo akabanga, Yesu yali ayigiriza mu Yeekaalu, n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bagamba nti Kristo Mwana wa Dawudi?
36 Ngoba uDavida uqobo lwakhe ngoMoya oyiNgcwele wathi: INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami, ngize ngibeke izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho.
Kubanga Mwoyo Mutukuvu bwe yali ali ku Dawudi, Dawudi yennyini yagamba ku bwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu nti, “‘Mukama yagamba Mukama wange nti, “Tuulira wano ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, okutuusa lwe nditeeka abalabe bo wansi w’ebigere byo.”’
37 Ngakho uDavida uqobo lwakhe umbiza ngokuthi yiNkosi; pho uyindodana yakhe njani? Lexuku elikhulu lamuzwa ngokuthokoza.
Dawudi yennyini amuyita Mukama we, ayinza atya ate okuba Omwana we?” Ekibiina kyalimu abantu bangi, ne bamuwuliriza n’essanyu.
38 Wasesithi kubo ekufundiseni kwakhe: Qaphelani ababhali, abathanda ukuhamba bembethe izembatho ezinde, lokubingelelwa emidangeni,
Awo Yesu n’ayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Mwekuume abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, kubanga baagala nnyo okwambala ne batambulatambula mu butale ng’abantu babalamusa.
39 lezihlalo eziqakathekileyo emasinagogeni, lezihlalo zabahloniphekayo ekudleni kwantambama;
Baagala nnyo okutuula mu bifo ebisinga obulungi mu makuŋŋaaniro, n’okutuula mu bifo eby’ekitiibwa ku mbaga.
40 abadla izindlu zabafelokazi, bekhuleka isikhathi eside ngokuzenzisa; laba bazakwemukela ukulahlwa okukhulu.
Kyokka, banyagako bannamwandu ebintu byabwe, ne beeraga nga basaba esaala empanvu ennyo. Ekibonerezo kyabwe kyekiriva kibeera ekinene ddala.”
41 UJesu wasehlala phansi maqondana lesitsha somnikelo wabona ukuthi ixuku liphosela njani imali esitsheni somnikelo; labanothileyo abanengi baphosela okunengi.
Awo Yesu bwe yatuula okwolekera eggwanika ly’ensimbi, n’alaba engeri ekibiina ky’abantu gye bateekamu ensimbi mu ggwanika. Abagagga bangi baali bateekamu ensimbi nnyingi.
42 Kwasekufika umfelokazi othile ongumyanga waphosela inhlamvana ezimbili ezincane zemali, eziyindibilitshi.
Awo nnamwandu eyali omwavu n’ajja n’ateekamu ebitundu bibiri, ye kodulante.
43 Wasebizela kuye abafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lumfelokazi ongumyanga uphosele okwedlula bonke laba abaphoseleyo esitsheni somnikelo;
Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti nnamwandu oyo omwavu awaddeyo nnyo okusinga bonna bali abatadde mu ggwanika.
44 ngoba bonke baphosele kokunengi kwabo; kodwa yena ebuyangeni bakhe uphosele konke alakho, konke okwempilo yakhe.
Kubanga bonna bataddemu ku bibafikkiridde, naye ate nnamwandu ono mu kwetaaga kwe ataddemu kyonna ky’abadde nakyo, ekibadde kijja okumuyamba obulamu bwe bwonna.”
